Intended primarily for scientists, engineers, and technical personnel who are interested in the materials aspects of optics and photonics, this text provides background characterization and applications of optics and photonics. The 22 chapters of the book are presented in tutorial format and cover such topics as: poly(arylene vinylene) formation; basic characteristics of electroluminescent polymers and light-emitting diodes; the electrical and chemical structures of interface formation in inorganic semiconductors; absorption measurements for polymeric materials; the synthetic chemistry, material structure, and photoelectric property relationships of electroluminescent polymers; the physics, chemistry, and uses of non-crystalline organic photrefractive materials; and the potential of aligned polymers in optically guided wave devices for electroptic applications.
